Chapter 554 Admiral Zhao vs the Strength Elephant!
The Beast King's eyes were narrowed into slits.
'How?!'
By this point, he could already tell that something was wrong.
From the very beginning of this operation, unlike his previous operations, things were just going against his expectations.
His plan for chaos from the beginning was full proof.
Sending 2 Beast Priests for the mission was already overkill in his opinion, he went on with it because he wanted to leave as less margin for surprise as possible.
In his opinion, with the magical isolation barrier removing Admiral Zhao from the equation of the defense of this planet, before his 2 Beast Priests, Planet Kronic Beam Ring would be nothing but helpless prey waiting to be devoured by the menacing predator pouncing on its home.
His plan was supposed to be full proof.
His plan was supposed to work until Admiral Kong showed up.
Like Admiral Zhao, Admiral Kong had his own territory in Nak State that he ruled over, it did not make sense for an Admiral to just go on leisure trips.
They mostly spent time in seclusion working on their power and calamity path, trying to pioneer new paths towards increasing their power.
Admirals were mostly seen only during important missions.
When Admiral Kong showed up, it was abnormal but the Beast King rationalized it and blamed it on coincidence.
Everything else went like he expected, the Dog Priest was able to do what he did best, sniffing out the best possible spots to set up the eternal space spires, and the Shelter Priest was able to do his thing.
That was all that the plan needed to succeed.
The Nak State sent reinforcements but they would be too late.
The Beast King almost relaxed already when Admiral Zhao broke out of his cage. Now, this did it, this Beast King instantly knew that something was wrong.
'This is no coincidence!'
His eyes narrowed. 'It is like they know everything about this plan!'
'They are simply trying to confirm if they were right!'
'But how?!' This was the question that he couldn't answer.
'There are no traitors in my Empire!' He didn't even entertain the thought.
'So how?!'
Planet Kronic Beam Ring was extremely important to the growth and development of his Beast Empire, taking it would aid their growth and expansion and it would have also set the foundation for more chaos in Nak State.
To finish the mission faster in normal circumstances, he would have decided to send like 2 or 3 more Beast Priests instantly to end the job once and for all.
But…, what if his intuition was right?
What if the Naks actually knew about his plans beforehand?
What if this resistance that they were showing was just a bluff to make them underestimate them and send even more Beast Priests in to take it?
What if an ambush of a dozen Calamity Grades was already prepared nearby and would come out as soon as more Beast Priests appeared?
The Beast King was paranoid at this moment.
He decided to stay cautious, he did not take that risk.
He sent only 1 Beast Priest, one of the most thick-skinned of them all. He was sure that even in an ambush, he could survive and at least escape.
…
BZZZ!
The spatial energy in the spatial tear fluctuated and by the time that it calmed down, there was already another existence in this battlefield.
He came right out of the spatial tear.
It was a familiar face that dominated the broadcast some time ago, it was a face among 5 faces that most Supers in Ackermann State feared.
It was a gigantic Strength Elephant, the Elephant Priest.
This Beast Priest going through the spatial tear strained the mana of the Shelter Priest even more but this Beast Priest was capable of taking the strain.
As soon as he appeared, the gigantic Elephant glared at the free Admiral.
Today, the Strength Elephant was wearing a large and heavy yellow jacket that extended all the way to his knees.
This jacket was a special magical armor filled with magic enchantments.
His stone fists grew a shade of green amid the stony gray covering.
He glared at Admiral Zhao. "You are the one!" He accused.
"…" Admiral Zhao only looked at him.
"You killed Old Croc!" He accused.
"You killed Old Fox and Old Hare; you killed my friends!"
"You are what Duhkha preaches to kill!"
"Today, you shall die!" His energy erupted like an avalanche.
His job was not anything complicated, keep this Mechanic busy and prevent him from interrupting with the work of the Shelter Priest.
The Elephant Priest was more than capable of doing that.
BAM!
Kicking the air as stones appeared under his legs, he charged at the Admiral.
"Self-Created Ability: Strength Punch- Needle Concentration!"
All the energy of this punch gathered into a needle-like concentration of energy that launched towards the Nak Admiral with venom in its flight.
Admiral Zhao felt threatened, he narrowed his eyes.
"Idan". He muttered calmly as his eyes surveyed everywhere.
Bzzz!
Instantly, some boxes launched out of his building that was at the center of his planet. In mere milliseconds, this mech suit equipped itself on its master.
This mech suit held a weapon that was familiar to Legolas.
It was the gigantic canon launcher that enabled them kill the Bug Emperor.
~IDAN~
"Master, orders".
Admiral Zhao said no words, the mech suit moved as through his neural connection, he was able to communicate directly with this mech on an even deeper level that Champion Onana couldn't achieve with his End-Game!
Retreating a few meters, he raised the canon launcher, aimed and pulled the trigger. Then for just a moment, a brief moment, the sun seemed to disappear from where it was far in space, materializing right there in this planet.
BOOOOMMMM…!!!
Admiral Zhao was Champion Onana's master.
He taught his student about the basic concepts of the path of Mechanical Impact, this was one of the 3 paths that he used to complete his breath through centuries ago into the Calamity Grade.
He mastered the paths of Mechanical Impact, Magnetic Energy Amplification, and Shockwave Energy.
The impact from the canon from the launcher hit like a hammer striking an anvil, the explosion that followed was as bright as the sun.
"Special Mechanic Ability: Mech Army!"
"Special Mechanic Ability: Metal Planet Affinity!"
"Special Mechanic Ability: Stacked Shockwaves!"
When the bright light like a sun finally subsided, Planet Kronic Beam Ring already changed. This planet was Admiral Zhao's home, it was his territory.
Not just his territory, it was also his workshop and experiment ground.
Over centuries, Admiral Zhao already built millions of mechs in this planet, storing them in hidden warehouses to practice his magnetic energy amplification and shockwave energy calamity paths.
Also, after centuries of staying close to it, he already developed an affinity with Planet Kronic Beam Ring that enabled him to use even more power here.
Now, for the first time in centuries, Admiral Zhao could bring out all his mechs and use his full power for the whole world to see.
Millions of grey and red mechs filled this Planet all of a sudden.
All of them aimed at the target.
Then Admiral Zhao's magnetic energy engulfed all of them, amplifying their performance to an even higher level as they finally pulled the trigger, filling the skies with mechanical impact weapons.
Bullets roamed the skies like a hail storm!
Gauss canons flew around like floating gifts in a Christmas horror movie!
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The Strength Elephant was forced to always be on the defensive.
The Elephant Priest was sturdy enough to withstand the incredible damage but that was all that he could do, he could do no more against Admiral Zhao.
This battle lasted for minutes and during this time, with so many mechs in his command, Admiral Zhao also had the leisure to attack the spatial tear.
He interrupted with it's expatriation of Planet Kronic Beam Ring.
The Beast King was angered but was cautious, he sent no more Beast Priests.
7 minutes later, a quarter of Planet Kronic Beam Ring was already sucked into the mouth of the spatial tear. Originally, in this time, this planet would have been close to being swallowed completely but there was Admiral Zhao.
The Strength Elephant was angry. "You filthy Nak!"
"Fight me head-on if you dare!"
Admiral Zhao completely ignored this beast and kept on doing what he was doing. And yes, his effort paid off.
Just a minute later, the 8th minute since the spatial expatriation started.
BZZZZZZZ!
A bright red light flashed!
A thick laser beam blasted through the spatial tear with impunity!
It instantly became unstable!
Admiral Zhao's eyes relaxed. "Old f*cker, you finally arrived!"
